Jack Cayless joins Fes Works, Mark Savary, and Kelly Turnbull this week to discuss the sex and violence of his comic, Chimneyspeak (VERY NOT SAFE FOR WORK, NOR CHILDREN). Chimneyspeak stars some very sexual and/or violent protagonists, fighting for their lives and places in the corrupt, and not-so-nice (fictionalized) Victorian England. Prostitution and murder, all around. They kick your face in, oh, so nicely.

We also ask Jack about his business plan of updating a free webcomic, and selling 12 page PDF side-stories each month.

At Penguicon 2012, several of the Webcast Beacon Network members join up to entertain you! Mark Savary, Fes Works, Michael Dellheim, Alex Heberling, and Jim Hanson (Formerly known as Adam Smithee) are here to talk at you for about an hour; in a 4 part video (or podcast). Also joining us on the show is Joe Foo (Desmond’s Comic), Laura and Erika (Sidekick Girl), and Ahmed Fahim (Silent Pirate)!

We broadcast LIVE with The Webcomic Beacon on Vokle, and we take live questions during the show. Stay tuned for when we have another Q&A show! Maybe you should come listen to us live, and ask us and/or our guest(s) questions!

Just talking about webcomics and taking live questions about writing comics. Join Fes Works, Mark Savary, and Kelly Turnbull! We got off to a slow start as our intended guest had internet issues. We just started talking and things got away from us! But you get a trimmed down version of our discussions on Fan Fiction/Comics and ways to advance your comic’s story, as asked by live listeners. Even still, the show does go a tad long.

Karen “Kez” Howard (What It Takes) and Tom Brazelton (Theater Hopper) joins Fes Works, Mark Savary, and Kelly Turnbull to talk about ending your comic! You know, the decision to end one’s comic and where and how to end it. We also talk about some typical ways people have ended their stories. Do you have any thoughts on the subject? Then please post a comment or send a voicemail!

Remember that we abridge the comics we review, and the show is by no means a substitute for reading it yourself. If any comics we review pique your interest, there are MANY places to pick these up! We highly recommend you check out your local comic book shop first, as that is the BEST experience for reading comic books. Otherwise there are many sources online to read and buy comic books in a digital format: Marvel Digital Comics, Dark Horse Digital, IDW, DC Comics, Image and more on Comixology, Drive-Thru Comics, and Graphicly.

Sorry for the website issues! The Dreamhost server The Rampage Network is on, and therefore The Webcast Beacon Network, decided to…. “be upgraded” for a few days. So anyway, last week’s news is brought to you by Thomas Revor, Alex Heberling, and Jason Strawsburg!
